II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. 2008/2009 Overlay Program Consultant Selection and Agreement
Staff is seeking full Council approval ofKPG, Inc. as the design consultant for the 2008/2009 Overlay Programs
and authorization for the Mayor to enter into a contract with said consultant in the amount of $89,561.60.
KPG, Inc. was selected from three consultants who provide pavement and overlay design and pavement
management. KPG, Inc. has provided services for the City in the past. Their past work has met staffs
expectations.
The consultant contract with KPG, Inc. is for 2008 design work; however, when estimated project costs exceed
the 2008 budget, the projects will automatically be delayed and included in the 2009 Overlay Program.
Additionally, in order to advertise in early 2009 for the Overlay Program, work must begin in the 4th quarter of
2008.
The City's annual investment in the overlay program is approximately $1 million. This pavement management
system evaluates the status of all the streets in order to fulfill the City's self-imposed maintenance requirement.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO FEBRUARY 25 COW MEETING FOR DISCUSSION.
B. Museum of Flight Pedestrian Bridge Airspace Lease
Staff is seeking full Council authorization for the Mayor to enter into a lease agreement with the Museum of
Flight for airspace required for a pedestrian bridge.
The Museum of Flight intends to construct a pedestrian bridge over East Marginal Way. This bridge will offer a
non-traffic walkway for Museum visitors. The Museum received a Federal Transit Grant to assist in paying for
this safety project.
Since the bridge will encroach in the airspace over East Marginal Way, law requires the City to charge a fair
market value for the space as well as outline an agreement for use. Staff has negotiated an agreement for use, and
will charge $1,200 annually for the lease. Additionally, the City will impose the same requirements on the
Museum that are set for bridge requirements. The pedestrian bridge will be inspected every two years, resulting in
a formal report, and all required repairs will be made at the Museums' expense. Bridge construction will begin
shortly. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO FEBRUARY 25 COW MEETING FOR
DISCUSSION.
